We have been using PointSEC with windows and = am looking for a similar solution for FreeBSD. I see you have GEOM = Based Disk Encryption (gbde) Which I have read about on your web site, = but the folks here are resistant to using it and are asking for a 3rd = party solution that is separate from the OS. Do you have anything in = mind? I understand that gbde requests a password before the partition = can be mounted anyway so this simulates the same functionality of = PointSEC, but since it is part of the OS, it seems that if someone has = access to the OS, they could still get in. Is that right? =20 Thank you very much for your help.=20 Jim Kinsey=20 =20 Nokia Networks=20 313 Fairchild Drive=20 Mountain View, CA 94040=20 ( 650 ) 864 - 6742=20 NOKIA=20 =20
